pls help /his/

Same here!
An instrument that would suit you is the fife. They used it all the time in the Napoleonic era.
As for the song sheets I can't really tell you where you can find them, so just google them.

actually the fife sounds a lot more convincing than the flute, looks like it might be relatively easy to play but there seem to be so many. Is there a fife that isn't so high pitched? I don't mind it too much but i live in a paper-walled house and my sister would beat me if i play that.

The upside to the fife is that it looks a lot cheaper than a trumpet but the downside is that i also like 1920s music and want to play that too desu

i would finger that B R A S S but all trumpets look like 1,000$

Fife is what you want.

If you live in the NE USA you should be able to find local Fife and Drum groups that will help.

They play all that stuff.

The fife is made to be heard over the sound of cannon fire, don't be such a pussy.
The recorder is a less shrill instrument that's inexpensive and easy to play, that might suit your needs.

Most reenacting groups maintain a couple loaner stands of arms for people who want to try it out. Just contact them and ask, most people involved in the hobby are more than happy to talk to those who are interested,

The initial costs are pretty high, a uniform and musket bought used total around $1200 if you have connections to the community. You can find lots of groups on Facebook. If you share your province I could probably recommend a group to start with. It takes as much time as you want to put into it. Events mostly take place in the summer and most of them are in Ontario or the northern US. I probably spend 2-3 weeks a year reenacting but that's because every event is a road trip for me due to my location. Like I said before though, most groups have loaner kit to help people get started (which can take a couple years).

wowee, i'd totally be willing to make it rain (with cash) once i actually get a job and i'd like to have a fine uniform. I live in Québec but just at Montreal which seems close i guess to Ottawa. Also where do people buy these things is there like suppliers or something?

I'm not sure about groups in Quebec, your best bet is to find a local 1812 era fort and check the facebook page to see who's linked. Uniforms are usually tailored specifically to you but you can find lots of related material at http://www.militaryheritage.com/ and http://www.loyalistarms.ca/mainpage.php

As bilingual (I assume) if you start reenacting, you have endless access to the best summer jobs at National Historic Sights across Canada.

If you're serious about this make contact with a group soon and you'll be able to try it out this summer.
